St. Lucia has 2 prominent peaks jutting out of the sea called the Pitons (Petit Piton and Gros Piton) and half of us volunteers just conquered Gros! I'm still not sure how my quads didn't explode on the 8 million stone steps up or how my knees didn't give out on the 8 million back down. We all felt like champions, but our legs were jello for the next 2 days. Totally worth it though.
This weekend we had a beach picnic with all of the volunteers and their host families, where we made a mess of ourselves with the fresh fruit and played in the water all day like kids. Then in the evening, we hit up the local karaoke night where friends of mine graced the audience with a riveting duet of Aladdin's "A Whole New World." Complete with hand motions and off-pitch tones.
